I don't often talk about THE BOY on my journal, but yesterday's conversation is worthy of it's own post.
[The Scene]
BOY and I are sitting on a stone wall in a woodsy area of campus. I am investigating our linked fingers and staring at my shoes, BOY is staring at me like this: ♥_♥ when suddenly...
BOY: Oh hey, that's a huge mushroom.
Me: What? *looks* Oh wow. Actually I think that's a whole peck of mushrooms.
BOY: But still...
Me: *apropos of nothing* Did you know there is a mushroom that looks like a penis?
BOY: *chokes on laughter* What?
Me: You know. There's
a mushroom and it's shaped *here I pause to mime a curved penis with my hands* with a darker top and everything.
BOY: *dying*
Me: There's also this pepper...
BOY: A chile pepper? Yeah. Those look-
Me: No. I mean this pepper has a perfect replica of a penis head. Like. Slit and all.
BOY: *takes this as gospel and is still laughing in that baffled/dirty way that tells me he might still be twelve* Of course.
Me: Want me to show you?
BOY: I believe you. *pauses* You know, if I picked those mushrooms, they'd make the perfect bouquet. Would you like that?
Me: Of-
BOY: No! Of the ones by the tree. They're even colorful like flowers all...red and orange. And then you could eat them. And-
Me: Die?
BOY: *nods* Painfully.
Me: Oh I'd love them then.
BOY: I thought you would.
